10 Sights & Landmarks in Jing'an That You Shouldn't Miss

May 18, 2021 Kaleigh Reichenbach

The largest city in China is also its most cosmopolitan, offering visitors a chance to experience the past, present, and future all at once. The Huangpu River splits Shanghai into two districts: Pudong and Puxi. The Pudong skyline looks like it was ripped from the Jetsons, with the bulbous Oriental Pearl TV and Radio Tower looking a bit like a two headed lollipop. On the Puxi side, you can walk the Bund riverside district to get a taste of old Shanghai.

Shanghai Circus World

The Multimedia Theatrical Spectacular 'ERA Intersection of Time' has been performed since its debut at Shanghai Circus World in September 2005. It is unique and comparable to the tradition of the Broadway Musical.It is in fact a stunning acrobatic show combining traditional Chinese arts and modern technologies. The performers present Chinese acrobatics, martial arts and dance perfectly in harmony with the music, sound, lighting, and other special effects, which include a water screen.While you marvel at the highly proficient skills of the performers, the story of China's evolution from its ancient past to the future is told. Hence, the title 'Intersection of Time', as the viewpoint of the audience is set in the present between the past and the future.The performance provides a wonderful insight into China's ancient culture and civilization, with sections about Sinan, an ancient Chinese invention for telling directions, soothsaying and conjuring. There is a fantastic section showing an acrobatic program which has elements performed since the far off days of the Han Dynasty (206BC–220AD). With porcelain jars and vats as their stage properties the performers give an overview of Chinese porcelain culture and greater understand of the country's name of 'China'.Modern achievements that are also showcased include Shanghai Donghai Cross-Sea Bridge, Maglev Train, and Shenzhou 5, China's first manned space mission. From these, you can see the amazing development and bright future of Shanghai and the whole country.The 100-minute performance shows not only artistic skills, but also creativity. Aided by multimedia including vision, original live music, sound effects, smell effect, air conditioning and lighting,

Site of the Second National Congress of Communist Party of China

Reviewed By SouthPerthAustralia - Eagle Bay, Australia

I visited this site in 1993 then again in October 2019. As evidenced in many places on this recent trip, China has done a great job in bringing its premier attractions up to world class. This was an interesting and informative site with English text for most of the information. My imperfect recollections of 1993 was that it was essentially an empty space with a plaque.

Jing'an Temple

Reviewed By G6628HXjaneh - Barnsley, United Kingdom

Visited here on a v busy Saturday where the temple was full of people filling red sacks with folded gold paper and then burning this for their ancestors. A real feast for all your senses, sounds, sights, burning incense and lovely people who explained what was happening
